Ilya Kovalchuk choices have been narrowed down, details to be finalized but no announcement tonight.... @Jay_Grossman

That was a nice day wasted.

Ouch! I can only hope it means the deal is done and Lou is working on a trade to free up cap space. Hopefully, "the choices have been narrowed down" to just one team, otherwise, if Kovy goes anywhere else, the forum is going to explode.

Nah, cause Lou would have until October to free up the cap space, the signing doesn't hinge on an immediate trade.

I read you can only go over the cap by 10% during the summer. I didn't do all the math, but with Kovy's cap hit around 8.5M, I believe the Devils would be above by more than 10%. So, a deal would be neccessary before the official signing.

Oh really? Maybe so, then. But I'm on vacation, so math is out of the question right now

no, they wouldn't be. i have them at 64.4M with an 8.57M deal to kovalchuk and including a 600k deal to fraser. 10% over the cap is 65.34.
